Pink Pearls and Bows

 
Grand daughters first birthday.
I used Craft Artist to create this card I used Nursery Rhyme Digital kit and the main image came from Crafters Companion Paintbox Poppets.

I printed out the main image from Craft Artist I used a round punch within the program to get the circle shape then cut it with the Beaded circle spellbinder die.

I created the background and greeting using the Nursery Rhyme digital kit I then added an organza ribbon bow and ruched a length up the side of the card and to finish I added a one, glitter and pink liquid pearls.

Beer and Music

 
 


I created this card using Craft Artist and used photo real images of beer caps  the actual image I stamped using Nostalgia pastimes by Papermania. I decided not to colour this in as I liked it just the way it was. I used Black and white card for the two mats and cut these using labels twenty five I used black soot ink on the white mat to bring the focus into the image. I placed the beer caps as a header and footer and printed the greeting under these

Another CD I have not used in a while Card Creations Aroma notes again I used my Craft Artist to design the background and a Floral font for the greeting which I coloured to match. I printed off a Stackapage from the CD and cut it out I matted it onto a dark raspberry card placed it onto the card using foam pads to give a bit of dimension then added a few swirls, sequins and dots to finish.

Nostalgic Bowls

                               
A card for an avid Bowls fanatic.
I used cream and brown A4 card stock. Papermania Nostalgia Stamps. So trendy M-bossabilities and one of the Fancy tags, Labels fourteen and Vintage photo ink.

I embossed a piece of card to sit down the middle of the card but before embossing it I used my inkpad on one side of the m-bossability to get the mottled effect, I then matted it onto brown card. I stamped out the greeting, the main image and stamped 50 down each side of the card . I cut the image using Labels fourteen and a larger one in brown card for the mat. cut the greeting with the fancy tag. I used the ink on the main image and the greeting before removing them from the die. then put the card together using glue for the main strip down the middle and foam tape for the image and greeting to give dimension to the finished card

Lacey delights (Spellbinders)

 

A fancy fold card inspired by Sue Wilson,

I decided to use Turquiose and white for this card and it was all done from A4 cardstock.


I used the Persian Dies Motifs and accents to create the main fancy fold instructions are on Sue's Blog.
I embossed one of the Persian accent dies along the edge rather than cut it.

Printed the greeting and cut it with a Damask accent die that reminds me of a fancy padlock. added a ribbon anf the numbers cut from a cuttlbug font set

A Great Gran's Flowery Explosion

 
This is an A4 Card I cut out the two mats in matching colours one plane and on a pearly card stock which I embossed. I rpinted the greeting direct to the card and the tag befor cutting it.

I used all my spellbinder flower and leaf dies with different shades of plain and patterned paper made up the flowers then decided which ones to use and were to place them.

I then used the romantic rectangle to cut the label also inking it before removing it from the die and made a treble bow. I stuck them using Glue gel. I finished with a few gems for the flower centers and a little glitter

A row of Flowers

    

This card I used my m bossibilities and spellbinder flowers and some inspiration from Sue Wilson.
I cut my 2 mats Deep lavender and pearl white to use with an A5 card I pin pricked the outer edge of the card with a Tim Holts ruler. I embossed the pearl white card and stuck it to the lavender card I then cut out my flowers and leaves four of each inked them while they were still in the dies Stamped the greetings and cut with a die inking before removing it from the die.

I chose two ribbons both in shades of lavenders aithough the colours do not look great in the pictures, I do appologise must get my lighting right.

I put the card together I'm really pleased with the final result.
